NEW SPRING CAMPS

LWYS is proud to introduce two new, rapid offseason football skills camps to help athletes prepare for the Fall Tackle Football season. Both camps will be led by Varsity Head Coach Eric Schmidt with support from veteran LWYS coaches, LHS players and former collegiate and professional players.

The camps are for all eligible tackle players from incoming 3rd through 8th grades. 

$59/week or $99/two weeks

IRON CATS

This camp will focus on the “tough” football fundamentals: blocking, tackling, and shedding blocks. Athletes will get a head start on building/developing these skill sets for the fall, while also ending each session with fun, team-based competitions. 

  • Wednesday April 10  5:30—7:30pm
  • Saturday April 13      9:00-11:00am
  • Wednesday April 17  5:30—7:30pm
  • Saturday April 20      9:00-11:00am

ATTACK CATS

  • Wednesday April 24 5:30—7:30pm
  • Saturday April 27     9:00-11:00am
